Do-It-Yourself

What is WonHundred Word Wednesdays? It’s when a group of amazing authors and I write 100 word stories all based on the same short prompt and post them. All the variations are fun to read. Here is my entry for the week.

Do-it-yourself kits were a bad idea. I cringed as the bot bashed through a wall. Again. I should’ve been called earlier. At least he’d evacuated all but the whelp bawling for his mum. The dad was frantic. He hadn’t meant to scare the child. I knew that. The kid didn’t.

I couldn’t blame the brat since his birthday bot was rampaging literally through his home. Party decorations shouldn’t look like victims of a war zone. Dad was lucky his house still stood.

Finally, I found the correct screwed up command. The bot ground to a halt. I cursed amateur engineering.
